Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
A nuclear reactor that produces more fuel than it consumes and that derives most of its energy from nuclear fission initiated by neutrons that have not slowed down to the thermal range. 6, record 1, English, - fast%20breeder%20reactor
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The fast breeder reactor derives its name from the ability to breed, that is to create more fissionable material than it consumes; and from the fact that its neutrons travel faster than they do in a thermal reactor. 7, record 1, English, - fast%20breeder%20reactor

La surgénération, caractéristique des réacteurs à neutrons rapides. Le cœur de tout réacteur nucléaire est le siège de destruction de matière fissile par absorption (fission ou capture) de neutrons par des noyaux fissiles et de production de matière fissile par capture de neutrons par des noyaux fertiles. Le rapport entre la production et la destruction de noyaux fissiles est appelé taux de régénération dans les RNR ou taux de conversion dans les REP. 5, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9acteur%20surg%C3%A9n%C3%A9rateur%20rapide
